Chapter 46 - Classy Bum
"I want to buy ice cream here first," Yushen replied, with a faint smile.
"Hmm," Sifeng muttered as he looked around. Each stall uses kanji, some say katakana and hiragana, on every billboard. Sifeng flinched at that. "You sure this is Beijing, heum?"
"Why are you so sure I'm going to want to go back to Beijing, A-Feng? This is Japan, you idiot!" Yushen said, still wearing a cool smile.
"What? Japan? You're crazy, Zhang Yushen! You came to Japan just to buy ice cream, huh? Really?" Sifeng protested.
Sifeng saw Yushen starting to enter one of the figures. Sifeng let out a ragged breath at being ignored by Yushen.
"Ah, fine! I'll just go home alone, Lao Yu. Look at me!" Sifeng shouted.
Yushen left Sifeng who was still busy with the jade bracelet, which was on his left wrist. Sifeng was still trying to teleport, but Sifeng noticed that Yushen was getting further and further away.
"Zhang Yushen! Wait for me!" Sifeng shouted. Sifeng ran after Yushen.
"Why can't I use this bracelet, heh?" asked Sifeng, as he caught up with Yushen's footsteps. Sifeng said with his breath still ragged.
"The bracelet can only be used if it is united with mine, A-Feng," Yushen replied, casually.
"Ha? You're really going too far, Lao Yu! What are we doing in this people's country, Lao Yu?! I really miss dad right now, Yu Ge. Let's just go home, shall we?" Sifeng asked.
"Huh, excuse! You also know that father is still in Guangzhou at this time. Do you miss our stepmother? Madam Wang whose cruelty was so terrible, Xiao Feng?" Yushen teased, which immediately made Sifeng burst out laughing.
"Hahaha ... you're right, Lao Yu. For some reason, when I saw Vin's grandmother, I thought of Madam Wang. They were both curtly and you saw her expression when she was angry? Hahaha ... as if their eyes were going to pop out. looks like my mother, Wang Jia Li." Sifeng told the story with a small laugh. He was still following in Yushen's footsteps.
"Madam Wang is a villain, A-Feng! Why have you never been afraid of that witch, huh?" Yushen interrupted, but it only irritated Sifeng that Yushen called Madam Wang like a witch.
"Shut up, Zhang Yushen! Madam Wang is my mother. Even though she's not my biological mother, she's still my mother! I've always called her 'Mama' even though she always refused." Sifeng said while glaring at Yushen.
"That Madam Wang once tried to kill you and ..."
"Then, what's the big deal with you, Zhang Yushen?! Didn't you ever want to kill me too, huh?!" shouted Sifeng before Yushen finished his sentence.
Sifeng was now even clutching Yushen's collar in anger. After thinking that his actions were not right, Sifeng let go of his grip.
"Ah never mind! Forget our argument, Lao Yu!" Sifeng broke up. Sifeng is now ahead of Yushen.
Yushen was still silent. Yushen really did not expect that Sifeng loved Madam Wang so much, even though he already knew that she was very evil.
In fact, Sifeng also knew the atrocities that Madam Wang had committed. Really! Yushen couldn't help but wonder why Sifeng still loved that demonic woman so much.
"Then, what about Madam Haruhi? Isn't she your birth mother too?" Yushen asked, after Yushen could catch up with Sifeng.
"I don't know, Yu Gege. I'm still disappointed in that woman. How could that woman die just for the sake of money. But deep down in my heart, I really want an explanation from her." Sifeng's face lowered as he said this sentence. His heart ached.
"He must have had his reasons, you idiot. It wouldn't hurt you to just listen to him once, would you?" said Yushen.
They walked into one of the convenience stores, and walked over to a freezer filled with dozens of ice creams. They choose ice cream with different flavors.
"You'd better try to meet your birth mother, A-Feng! Speak nicely and you'll know why that woman left you first!" Yushen gave advice. Yushen while paying to the cashier, but unfortunately only a few Yuan bills left in his trouser pocket. Of course this does not work in this country if it is not exchanged to the bank first.
Hearing Yushen's suggestion, Sifeng was silent for a moment. This was really difficult for Sifeng. Should Sifeng open his heart or still stick with his stance?
"If you were me, what would you do, Yu Ge?" Sifeng asked Yushen, not caring if his brother was confused about how they would pay for the ice cream that was already in their hands.
"Of course I'm going to meet my biological mother, idiot! Remember, just because of your biological mother, you can be in this world," Yushen said as he handed Sifeng vanilla ice cream, so that his sister would think of a way to pay for their ice cream.
Sifeng accepted.
"Okay! I'm now ready to meet my biological mother, Yu Ge," Sifeng said.
Yushen smiled widely. The plan worked. Yushen wanted to mend this mother-daughter relationship. Of course before the 18th month.
However, their problem with ice cream is not over. Yushen grabbed Sifeng's wrist to lead him to run from the convenience store.
The cashier shouted at them both as 'Thieves!'
However, Yushen shamelessly replied that he only owed it. However, Yushen still asked Sifeng to run. They run without direction and purpose.
If passing through a thrift shop, Yushen plans to sell his watches, shoes and belts all together to earn Yen money, which can be used in the country.

Sky Palace, Black God Mountain.
Vin pondered on the balcony of the room. Vin still remembered about the sacrifices made by the human named Zhang Sifeng.
Why is there a human as stupid as him? They had only known each other for a few weeks. Why was Sifeng willing to put himself in danger just to protect Vin? Even now Vin feels he doesn't deserve such a sacrifice.
Vin kept thinking about it.
"Is something bothering you, Vin?" A voice suddenly sounded from behind and interrupted Vin's thoughts.
"My Brothers!" Vin exclaimed as he turned and found Gil behind him.
"What do you think, Vin?" Gil asked, sounding so soft. Gil while stroking Vin's long silver hair.
"I don't know. Lately, I've been feeling really useless, Brother Gil. Father, you, Brother Glen and now Brother Sifeng, you all sacrificed to protect me. Sometimes, I feel that I don't deserve your treatment like this. feel useless, Brother." Vin said. Vin lowered his head, looking so sad.
"You know, Vin? You are life to us. So, don't think like this anymore! Got it?" Gil said. Gil looked at Vin closely. Gil convinces Vin that Vin is not a burden and Vin is not useless.
"I see, since you are my family members. But, what about Brother Sifeng? Why would he make this sacrifice?" Vin spoke again.
"I don't really understand either, Vin. However, this also proves that a human and a God can coexist, Vin. There is no need for a barrier between us." Gil spoke again to calm his brother's heart.

(ZHANG YUSHEN POV)
We walked the streets of Tokyo which is never quiet. And our next destination is the city of Yokohama.
Luckily I remembered Zhang Sifeng's birth mother's address. Well, it was Papa who gave me the address, when we were still in Guangzhou. Papa did tell me to keep the address in case Sifeng changed his mind and Sifeng begged to be delivered to Sifeng's birth mother who was in Japan. It's also a good thing I remember all the addresses.
We took the high-speed train to Yokohama City. Ah, maybe a lot of people are asking where do I get the money, right? As originally planned, I did sell my watch for cash.
At this time, I saw Sifeng's face that was so tense. I laughed seeing it.
"Hahaha ... take it easy, A-Feng! You will only meet a woman who is your biological mother. Why does your scared expression show that you are going to meet a Triad leader, huh?!" I teased Sifeng.
Sifeng remained silent, not responding to my taunts. It's weird. Normally, Sifeng would be furious if I made fun of him like that. Was Sifeng really afraid of his birth mother?
"You really don't know how I feel right now, Yu Ge? It's really hard for me. It's like saying, you were told to put the broken glass mask back together, where the shards have gone. It's really hard for me to trust that woman again, Yu Ge! You understand!" Sifeng said.
To be more dramatic, Sifeng while practicing when Sifeng broke the glass mask like that time. My brother is so ridiculous!
"Why put another glass thing that's clearly broken, huh? Just buy a new glass mask! Everything's going to be okay, won't it?" I said, which made Sifeng look even more annoyed.
